Organizing to start the New Year Right

I don't usually make New Year resolutions,    but this year I felt that I needed to do more to get my personal life better organized.      One of the reasons I need some improvement in that area is I forget to look at my calendar and to do lists.....lol!       

I thought displaying my 2019 Calendar in the hallway ......where I have to look at it several times a day.......might just help me.     
 My theory is that if I get in the habit of looking at it everyday,   eventually  I can move it to my desk where it really should be 

I have little tabs that I can put on the days that I have an activity planned.

Here's a few of the pretty pages the calendar has..........

I have premarked tabs and some that I can write on

Along with the calendar,   I have a sheet to remind me about birthdays,   anniversaries,  a year at a glance page and one to make special notes on.     
 In the center is my planner.     I have it clipped together so I can just pick it up and take it to my desk that's down the hall in the bedroom.

I have to roll a chair over to my desk since it would block the opening to the bath if I left it there all the time.

I can take my planner loose from the clip and spread it out on the desk and see what I need to do today

I organized all my birthday cards,   anniversary,  etc and have them handy .

I also have an inspirational pad on the desk

I have the upper cabinet of the secretary filled with my poodle and ballerina collection..

I love being able to display some of my favorite mothers day and birthday cards that the kids have given me.

Did you notice that I have new clock in the hallway?    

When the hands fell off the old clock I'd had for many many years     I decided to replace it rather than fix it this time.     

I'm very organized around the house house,   so I hope in the new year I can get more organized in this problem area!
